"April, 2018": I like to be productive.  I decided that I'd shoot a short movie of me playing (M)Usic every day of 2018.  At 1st, I was imagining playing a short piano solo everyday.  This would stimulate me to practice more & challenge me to try to make the short solos very varied.  Then I decided that it would be more fun to play different instruments.  I collect instruments, getting them cheaply when I can find them.  So I get them from thrift stores, yard sales, pawn shops.  As of 2018, I'm retired & living off such a small amount that there's not even enough to always pay the bills.  Creating a project like this helps keep me busy when my lack of income might otherwise be overwhelmingly depressing.  I look forward to each new day's scene.  By March, I inevitably started making things more elaborate, with more lighting, more varied clothing, more complicated shots, etc.  March was such a good month that it was hard for me to imagine upping the ante any more in April.  Nonetheless, I did refresh my approach considerably in April & had an equally inspired, if not more inspired month.  I wore the same white clothes for every shot, I introduced water, I borrowed electronics gear from the library, etc, etc..  As is usually the case, my prospective (v)audience, if there is one, are geeks & weirdos, you know who you are.  Enjoy! - March 31, 2018 note from tENTATIVELY, a cONVENIENCE
